Ippo isn't exactly known for it's classy representation of racial/national pride.

Hawk walked in with giant spiked armor on and 4 platinum blonds on his arm; we're lucky Gonzo didn't step into the ring and triumphantly eat a taco or something.

That's the only way to eat a taco. With triumph :smug:

As for those panels where Miyata looks at Gonzalez's feet, my guess is that he saw that the soles of the shoes are flat i.e. he's a speed dude like Takagi and Miyata.

Calling it now. Round one knockout by Ippo, potentially with him not getting hit once.

I wonder if Gonzalez is dying/being crippled by anim-itis and has to win the world championship line right now It has been a while but I think it was hinted at a bit when his character was introduced.

So his pace might indicate that he is not at 100%. Maybe. I can be totally off base here.

Actually I think that it's because he's maybe wearing the type of shoes an infighter typically wears. This was a brief thing really early in the series, and I think it'd fit well with what Gonzalez seemed to feel about machismo and the fact that, up until potentially this point, he's been a knock-off Martinez.

It's basically him trying to announce himself as having evolved past simply imitating Martinez.


Or it could be something else entirely.

This is what I want. All that talk about Ippo seeming to get weaker was just him working on his on secret plan of something.

They also have a clip for the opening:

So I watched the first episode of Rising this morning after my run and I'm really excited for the season. I enjoyed the new VA for Kamogawa and outside of the music the new OP credits are great.

At least this looks like a boxing match and not a retarded chimpboy backflipping all over the ring.

Given that his weakness was more or less foreshadowed, we're probably in for at least 7 or 8 chapters* of him getting dominated before he makes any sort of comeback.

*The really sad thing is that I'm not exaggerating for comedic effect in the slightest when I say this, and everyone else in this thread knows it.

My hopeless hope is:

Ippo get owned fast. While the referee is counting to ten mashiba start laughing like a creep until Kumi lose it and KO him, making him fall at the same time that "ten" echoes in the ring.
After that at least 15 chs of takamura screwing around and kumi thinking on becoming a boxer

Ippo will get hit a few million times before he starts his counter-attack, then Gonzales will use *machismo* to swing the fight back in his favor, activating Ippo's Japanese spirit. Then Ippo will pull a new type of of Depsey for the KO.

This is making my eye twitch every time I read it; in Spanish, "machismo" doesn't have the same meaning as "manliness" (which I think Morikawa was going for), but is rather chauvinism as in "males are superior to women".

So basically Gonzales uses the power of being a dick to women to win. :v:

Midway through the round, Gonzales turns to face the audience and calls Kumi a bitch. Ippo goes ragemode and unleashes the new dempsey.

It says a lot about Ippo that deflecting a punch in a boxing match is a notable maneuver.

I'm hoping that if this fight ever gets animated, Gonzales' battle aura unashamedly possesses a sombrero, a Mexican flag unfurls in the background with every power punch, and mariachi music plays in the background whenever the camera is focused on him.

A big difference I can see between this and most of Ippo's other matches is that there has been virtually zero positive foreshadowing for this match. As far as I can remember, they haven't talked at all about Ippo developing anything new (or fixing weaknesses, whatever) to help him with this match, so if he pulls something off it's going to have to be pretty much out of nowhere.

At the same time, I can't really see him making Ippo lose this match. Having the first fight after he decides to "take on the world" be a nonstarter doesn't seem like something that will happen, even if by all accounts it should happen.
